A workout with Dragan Bender has been scheduled sometime after his Israeli season ends. This should be sometime in June.  The doc has been updated.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

Maybe he already has a promise from a team with an amazing coach and a huge need for a center  ;)

I haven't seen any reports yet of him working out for us.  Maybe he already did, but it hasn't been reported anywhere.

Is it just me or does it look like Boston is only working out second rounder’s with the two exceptions being Brown and Bender?    Makes me think they’ll be trying to trade #16 and 23.  Could be they go bender #3 and trade back into the lottery with #s 16 and 23 and take Brown.

I'd be ok with Bender+Brown take away from this year's draft.

I was just thinking the list looked weird too. Danny did say something about just about every guy from 1 to 60 will get a workout though..

Many Euro guys are still playing (anadolu efes won game 3 on saturday to advance to finals of Turkish league - Korkmaz quiet with only handful of minutes and 3 points. EDIT: Efes beat a team called Darussafaka Dogus for whom Semih Erden lead all scorers with 23, and got a handy contribution from.....Luke Harangody), and mid-first dudes might be choosy about going to teams where they will get a chance.. Like to think Davis, Valentine, Jones, Chriss, Brice J will get a decent look. And maybe Poetl or Sabonis drops to 16.

I think there are also workouts happening that we dont know about too. Like, they arent being reported or leaked by people. We might hear about them maybe weeks after they've already worked out.

(unless im not looking in the right places lol)

I thought it was funny that Brown is working out with each top 10 lottery team except the Kings.
He doesn't have an agent and is mentored by Isiah Thomas (Detroit lwgend) and Shareef Abdul Raheem. So it's either them or the kid himself who have decided to boycott the Kings lol.

Jaylen Brown reportedly part of this morning's Celtics workout. Uber-athletic Cal swingman will be in consideration with the No. 3 pick.

The guy is a beast. Doesn't settle for outside shots. He's strong in traffic and gets to the hole while taking damage.

Not only did Shareef finish his career with the Kings, but he was a member of their front office as well.

On October 7, 2010 Abdur-Rahim was hired to be the assistant general manager for the Sacramento Kings. He later became the team's director of player personnel, a position he held in 2014 after new ownership had taken over in 2013.[17] Abdur-Rahim left the team in September 2014.[18] League sources would later report his departure occurred after the 2014 NBA Draft, where Abdur-Rahim had arguments with coach Mike Malone and general manager Pete D'Alessandro.[19]

Yep, he's working out for us today.

But I have to disagree with the bold. He doesn't take outside shots because he's absolutely a horrible shooter. And he's reckless at times when driving to the rim. Doesn't have a ton of bball IQ from what I've seen. Seems like an athlete, not exactly a basketball player.

Personally not a fan.
